Hi,
I just wonder if it’s possible/makes sense to dry Desiccant for AMS（6 pack） | Bambu Lab EU in a blast drying oven like PrintDry e.g.?
Contrarily to silica gel dessicant which can be reused after reheating, bambu dessicant is calcium chloride which when saturated cannot be reactivated and need to be replaced.

It is possible, but it doesn’t make sense to me.
If you have a blast drying oven that operates up to about 200ºC or higher, you can dry the calcium chloride; I wouldn’t recommend such a procedure because it demands more energy, work and risks.
I was surprised that PrintDry had a blast drying oven. Can you share more info? I couldn’t find it on their website.
As a reusable, desiccant material for desktop 3d printers, silica seems a wise choice.

I stand corrected then. I made some search following your answer and while it seems it can be regenerated (in its granular form apparently so not necessarily the bambu lab product), it needs 250°C.
